The trade war is top news here, and we’re spending a lot more on military including developing drone production capabilities.
Every week I go to the grocery store there’s fewer US made products on the shelf and more products made elsewhere. Most of us are avoiding products made in the USA, it’s a common sight to see people checking labels for where things are made and putting it back on the shelf if it’s American, I do the same. We can survive economic hardship as long as we have food. This is on the minds of every Canadian and a lot of Europeans as well.
China’s trade to the US is way down, but their overall trade numbers are up. Why do you think that is? It’s because trade is being routed around the US because we know the US cannot be trusted. Used to be China was the last place I’d buy things from (only when there’s no other option) but now the US is the last place. And not as much stuff is made in the US as you might think. It’s difficult to avoid buying stuff from China, but it’s actually very easy to avoid buying from Canada. The US is stupidly handing over the economic power to China, which sucks. But we’ll get by.
And don’t think this is a temporary thing either. Even if the US votes in a Democrat next election (if there even are elections) we can’t trust you to not go back to someone as crazy (or even crazier) as Trump. We thought y’all learned when Trump got voted out last time, but obviously there are fundamental problems in American culture that will take generations to fix, if ever. The most reasonable outcome is the the US to dissolve and form smaller countries, hopefully it won’t take a civil war to accomplish that. But it’s obvious the US doesn’t work as a country anymore, the sooner Americans realize that the sooner the world can form trade relationships with the less stupid parts of the US like California and New York. You know, the parts of the US that actually matter to the rest of the world.
Yea I mean that’s one way it could work out. How are those economic boycotts going over here you ask? Well all of our stock markets are at all time high. Money is pouring into our glorious tech companies, who are working with Trump to great a global surveillance network? Im pretty sure you guys buying a couple billion dollars of whiskey is not going to make or break our economy sry. Im not sure my countrymen are smart enough to strike or boycott, so the whole boycotting things… I wish it was doing more, but it’s not. You’re going to need to convince China to stope buying chips and stuff from us.
You really think you’re gonna be able to stop Donald Trump from consolidating power and invading you in 2-3 years? You think this conversation with me is going to change this countries path? We’re about to start canceling elections lmao. The show is over bud you’re on a strict timeline before you share our fate.\
Also as a Mainer, stay the fuck out of Maine. You guys are shitty tourists, you drive like morons, and your boycott here was lovely. Keep it up for my sake. Never come back <3
